Commander Ahmad Massoud

And he not only managed to resist and prevent it, that at later stages, the Al-Qaeda and Taliban realized that he was undefeatable on the ground.

just the way that the Russian realized he's undefeatable.

So when it happened, Al-Qaeda changed their tactic.

Their tactic was that now that we cannot defeat him in the battlefield, on the ground, let's assassinate him.

And this was the second phase that they started planning.

One plant failed, the second plant failed, the third plant failed, and the last plant.

That, the same group and the team of Al-Qaeda, which managed to create the chaos and the tragedy of 9-11, same group planned my father's assassination.

And this is why we believe these two were intertwined.

So if one wouldn't happen, the other one wouldn't be carried away.

So if my father's assassination wouldn't be successful, the 9-11 wouldn't happen because they wanted that.

Without Ahmad Shah Massoud and with this creating this sort of hitting America and telling all the sort of their companions that look, we even hit America.

They would bring this sort of attention of their fellow comrades to come in Afghanistan.

We are now here.

Ahmad Shamshud is gone.

This is our sanctuary.

So when they assassinated my father, they carried out the attack at 9-11.

But luckily, the sort of intervention happened, and the Taliban ultimately, with the help of international community and international forces and with the forces of National Front of Afghanistan, they were defeated.

So that is what happened.

Of course.

One thing is that they knew that if, without help, Ahmad Shah Massoud cannot be defeated.
